Pest Theatre
The Pest Theatre (Pesti Szinház) occupies the former Hotel of the Seven Electoral Princes, where the twelve-year-old Franz Liszt gave his first concert in Pest in 1823. The foyer of the theater with its beautiful dark mosaic work is very impressive.
Serbian Church (temporarily closed)
By the early 19th C there were considerable numbers of Serbs in Budapest, and their church was probably designed by the famous architect A. Mayerhoffer in the 18th C. The nave has three articulated parts. The women's section on a higher level is separated from the men's section by a wooden balustrade. The iconastasis, which divides the choir from the nave, was painted in the middle of the 19th C by K. Sterio. The church is temporarily closed.
